    Dyna-Cabs clearing house thread

    IDEA: Since all 3 current fractal products now have dyna-cabs, creating one large centralized clearing house Dyna-Cabs thread for people to post ideas and blocks and specific tips and tricks that would apply to all 3 products sounds useful.

    Justin Hayward - Moody Blues

    FAS Humbuster Cable PLUS SHIPPING - OUCH

    I have a humbuster cable I bought years ago with my first Fractal Ultra, it is finally starting to fritz out. I went to order another one from Fractal for 19.99 and the shipping to SW Washington is $18.10. Anyone recommend a similar kind of cable that I can get from a local dealer or Amazon? I...

    AX8 to FM9

    There must be a bunch of us who have been stuck in the AX8 world when it was discontinued and did not move into the the updated firmware of the FM3 or the AXIII. So, those who have been fortunate enough to get early on the waitlist and now enjoying the FM9, I would love to hear your thoughts on...

    Quilter - light and powerful

    I am old and liking "lighter to carry" more and more. Been looking at some Quilter head and cab options for my Fractal. Any recommendations or warnings? And what about this little guy...... Quilter Labs Frontliner 2x8w 2x8 Modular Speaker Cabinet

    Dear Cliff

    I have not been on the forum as much lately so I may have missed future project ideas. For what it might be worth, I wanted to throw out feelers. I have loved my AX8 immensely. I started with Fractal with the Ultra, loved it, but loved the simplicity and portability and improvements of the AX8...

    Studio Monitors question: I am seeing a pretty good cyber price for either the JBL 305P MkII or the KRK Rokit 5 G3 Active Studio Monitors at Pro Audio Star. Any thoughts or advice on which way to go? Or any other options in the <$100 range and link to a cyber Monday or Black Friday

    Wireless guitar recommendations

    With Black Friday deals, I am interested in maybe going wireless on my guitar to AX8. Looking at ads, they run from $40 to $200 and probably way beyond that. I would prefer to stay under $100, but that may not be possible for quality. Any recommendations and/or warnings with reasons would be...

    New Fractal Products?

    Hi anyone here, I have an AX8 and have loved it. I have not been on this forum lately mostly cuz my AX8 works fine and yet it is discontinued so the discussion has tapered and I have had it long enough to know how to get around to make it do what I need. I love the fact of everything on one...

    Eventide H9 - changing patches with SCENES

    Tube amp humming

    I have both a Fender 65 Princeton RI and a Fender Blues Deluxe RI. Both wonderful amps. If I plug directly into them from my guitars they are quiet and lovely. If I plug into them from the AX8 they hum noticeably. I use a Fractal Humbuster cable. On the Blues Deluxe I have tried the direct in...

    Ducking Delay

    Forgive my ignorance of cool things, but I recently discovered the "ducking" delay and what it does. Can anyone elaborate on the various block parameters and your thoughts on what and why you do what you do on the ducking delay? Also, is there anyway do do a ducking reverb in the AX8? Thanks!

    Waves PRS Supermodels

    I have the Waves GTR 3 I got in a bundle a couple years back. I could get some nice cleans but most crunch and distortion was not very good. My AX8 far exceeds. But wanting an in DAW tool I was looking at their PSR SuperModels. Anyone have opinions on this they are willing to offer? Thx

    FAS amp models

    In a recent thread, "So, what's everyone's favorite amp model?" Someone recommended the FAS Modern III. I tend toward Fenders (cleans and crunch) and use an ES-335 most of the time and have not scanned the FAS models for a couple years, but thought I would give it a try. Caveats: My 335 is in...

    Using Xitone Powered Wedges as recording monitors?

    I just ran one of my Logic recorded mixes through my one Xitone Wedge, it sounded incredible. The articulation, clarity, and punch were remarkable.

    Xitone 12" Powered Wedge

    H9 and AX8
